"Ila, tell me how much Gold you need?"
(Clang... Shing...)
Just as Skylar whoose peerless visage is revealed said this with a confident smile on his face, a cold silver blade from nowhere appeared close to his neck with a threatening intent to cut his head off.
"Get away from her this instant! You bastard!"
(Thomp, thomp, thomp...)
"Stinking man how dare you."
Also from a crystal glass door that opened on the glass wall in the distance that faced Skylar and is behind Ila, a tall and imposing figure marched with intense ferocity towards Skylar.
(Tap, tap, tap...)
"Are the two of you crazy?!!!"
From the same crystal glass door that appeared on the glass wall, another figure behind the tall and imposing figure ran towards her with the intent to stop her powerful march, stopping her from assaulting Skylar.
"Wow!" She is very tall, definitely more than three meters and her beautiful skin... just like espresso... She is also a bit stronger than this one.
Skylar shifted his gaze from the tall and imposing figure- a stunning beauty dressed in a platinum tank top and platinum leggings that matches her platinum hair tied into a ponytail; to a petite figure dressed in a black catsuit and cat mask- who is also the person holding the blade to his neck.
"Bilkis! Kat!... Both of you... get out now!"
Before the tall and imposing woman could come closer towards Skylar, Ila's soft and soporific voice that is laced with subtle authority echoed in the room.
"Matron, he clearly has bad intentions."
With a frown on her stunning and rectangle-shaped face, the tall and imposing figure protested as she stops about a meter behind Ila. But instead of getting a response from Ila, silence seized control of the room for the next few seconds after which the world class beauty that followed the tall and imposing figure and is right behind her broke the silence and pulled her by the arms.
"Bilkis, let's leave."
What a chic beauty. Skylar eyes on the world class beauty that is kind of dragging Bilkis out of the room widened with interest. she is even more beautiful and graceful than a top model... Her toned and curvy physique is definitely approaching legendary level. She has the potential to become a legendary class beauty... I am looking forward to that.
"Lord Sky, please pardon their ignorance."
Interrupting Skylar's reverie with a bit of nervousness in her voice and expression; Ila grabbed Skylar's hands with her own very soft and jittery hands as she leaned a bit closer towards him, and her intoxicating earthen smell made him close his eyes as he breath in noisily and relaxedly.
She is nearly perfect... What a woman.
Skylar opened his closed eyes and looked to his side where the earlier cold blade came from. Little Kat is gone. Her stealth is not bad, but its still very far from what Yami can do.
"Lord Sky..."
Once again, Ila who has gained her composure and still holding Skylar's hands broke his reverie, expecting Skylar to pass a comment on the earlier action of her surbodinates. But instead, Skylar looked piercingly at her veil where her eyes lay behind and asked again.
"How much gold do you need?... Ila."
Ila did not respond right away. She paused for a few seconds, her expression behind the veil unknown to Skylar, then as she starts to stroke Skylar's fingers subconsciously, she responded, her soporific voice subconsciously a lot softer and flirty. "About a hundred million gold should restore us to our previous level, but ten million gold is enough for now... We have been trying to get investments from big corporations in the real world, but for some reason..."
I want to sleep on those mummies. They look firm and bouncy... They must taste good too. Skylar who has stopped listening to her midway and his blatantly staring at her world-record chest smiled foolishly with drool almost escaping his gaping mouth.
Then after he has fantasized enough, he withdrew his hands from hers and stood to his feet. And revealing his enviable and sculpted physique for Ila to see, he removed his cloak entirely, dipped his hand inside it, and from it he dragged out a black carved wooden chest he lets sit on the glass floor.
(Thud)
"Can we get this sold, and for how much?" Putting his cloak back on, he asked Ila who seems to be surprised by his action.
Then after a short momentary silence and after Skylar has sat back down on the footstool, Ila pinched the star-shaped emerald chandelier earring that is hanging on her left ear and that almost reached her fair shoulder in order to send a message through it. "Pretty Ji-soo... please come over."
So they install communication device into accessories, its just like this bracelets. Skylar looked at the bracelet on his arm that was given to him by Empress Diana and examined it by rolling it with the finger of his other arm as it hangs on his wrist.
...
(Tap, tap, tap...)
She is back. Her name really did her justice... Very pretty... and her korean blood must be mixed... Maybe its black or latino, or both. But this chic's got an incredible figure and i like her aura too... Confident, classy and easygoing.
"Matron, you called."
The previous world class beauty that dragged Bilkis out; her shoulder length hair ashy pink, her medium skin tone having a cool undertone, and now wearing a cropped red plaid flannel shirt unlike earlier over a red dolphin short with only white sheer stocking on her toned and shapely legs that hangs tightly on her big fleshy tigh; with elegance in her steps arrived in front of Skylar and Ila.
"You are pretty Ji-soo right?" Before Ila could address her, Skylar who has his green eyes on her black eyes asked.
"Yes, most handsome lord..." Replying, she rest one of her pretty hands on her small waist as she tilts her body to the side, and she raised the other one, doing a v-sign with her fingers.
"The one and only. Ciao!"
She added with her pleasant voice that sounds like music, and winked at Skylar with gusto.
She definitely has a case too. Skylar smiled and withdrew his attention from her, allowing Ila.
"Ji-soo, take that to the tower and inquire its price." Ila pointed at the black dusty chest that reeks of ancient aura sitting close to her.
"Okie..." Ji-soo replied. And right away, she bent her curvy figure in other to lift the chest.
"You might want to drag it... Its kind of heavy."
Skylar warned, his voice expressing concern. But Ji-soo anyway lifts the chest successfully and starts carrying it towards the door she came from- the one Skylar also enter through.
Her constitution is descent... The people here are at least two levels above those guys from moonlight.
Skylar who is watching 'Pretty Ji-soo' figure leaving the room about a hundred meter wide and a hundred meter long smiled. Then he turned to face Ila who is seated in front of him and who is quiet as her eyes beneath the veil which Can't be seen seems to scrutinize Skylar and his subtle actions.
Is she studying me... She is cute. But i want to see her face though.
"Ila how many are you in your faction." Skylar put his hand on his chin.
"Registered players, three hundred and twenty.... Including everyone else, twelve thirty four."
Ila answered Skylar, then Skylar pushed the footstool he sits on closer to her- his legs almost stepping on the hem of her green gown, then he grabbed her hands with his eyes staring piercingly at her face covered by the non-transparent veil she wore.
"Who are the others? Unregistered players?"
"No, a small number of them are users we hired and the rest are registered players, but have no contract with our faction." Replying Ila tightened her hands held by Skylar and her cadence lowered a bit. "They are pregnant rape victims we are looking after and some of them are nursing mothers."
"Eh!." Suprised by her last statement, Skylar's mouth with his nose starts to twitch subconciosly in response.
They seem to know very little about what's been happening in the simulation... Where have they been for the past nine months? Maybe they were trapped somewhere in the simulation and refused to log out... Absolutely not, that doesn't make sense
"Ila, can't they just log out?..."
Skylar's question interrupted Ila's thought.
She sighed. "As long as a person is overpowered with spiritual pressure, its impossible to access the player interface, unless they can offset the spiritual pressure on them or at least counter it. And suicide which is the last option if their attacker does not guard against it, is something most of this victims do not have the courage to take since pain and death feels very real... But thanks to the invention of suicide potion the numbers of recorded victims have reduced a lot."
"Are the victims all women."
Skylar asked.
"No, more than half of the recorded victims are young boys, and their attacker are both men and women." She replied.
"Eh!." Skylar's eyes widened in surprise. "Ila wait. Is there not an age limit of fifteen."
Ila before she replied chuckled. "Excuse me lord... The age limit TRIBE enforces has nothing to do with a person's real age. It is the age we input in the original contract that they care about... If a seven year old writes sixteen in his contract they will not disallow him from logging into the simulation. But if a forty year old man writes fourteen in his contract they will never allow him to log in until a year has passed in the real world, when they expect him to have turned fifteen..."
"Ah! I understand." That will explain how those kids can be here. "But Ila, why are the victim not trying to abort the baby by logging out of the simulation and logging in again when they find out about their pregnancy? Its not like they will carry the baby to the real world right? And there shouldn't be a reason they want to keep an unwanted pregnancy?"
This time before Ila replied Skylar, she sighed softly. "Abortion and running away is simply impossible... Its the rule of the game. Once someone is pregnant, they must carry the baby in-game for nine months. Even if they log out, their nine month will stop counting and it will resume after they log in the next time. Unless they choose never to return to the simulation ever again, something no one will think of doing at this stage..."
"I understand, this simulation despite its fuckery is very addictive. I have only log out once since that time it launched and return the next day. Who will want to quit it completely. Just thinking about places i am yet to visit in this world makes me happy everytime i wake up... And we shouldn't even talk about those exotic species out there and the incredible sceneries..." Smiling, his expression that of longing and cheerfulness, Skylar rambles on.
Meanwhile, Ila as she listens to Skylar held his hands that his holding hers tightly.
Lord, that is crazy, thirty six month in the simulation and you have only logged out once. And you are even just entering a safe zone for the first time... Where have you been and what have you been doing...
